“To our LGBTQIA2S+ community, you are safe here in the City of SeaTac. Your rights are human rights. The reality is that we are witnessing a rollback of hard-earned protections, leaving many in the community unsure and afraid. But you are not alone. In fact, you have the full support of our City Council. We believe in the vibrant resilience and strength of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
“You have fought hard for many years to be heard, and we hear you. Your voice will always find a home here in SeaTac. Our Human Services Department can help you find local and national resources covering a range of issues. Please let us help. City Hall’s doors are open to you.”
